Neighbourhood information

The White Cliffs of Dover and the South Foreland Heritage Coast of Kent are just a short drive away. St Margaret's at Cliffe is also home to St Margarate's Bay, a neighbouring village that offers a variety of charming local amenities, including the Dover Patrol Memorial, the Pines Garden Tea Room and Museum, and the striking Foreland Lighthouse. A beautiful shingle beach with rock-pooling opportunities and a pub serving food overlooking it as well as the house previously occupied by Noel Coward and Ian Fleming can be found at the foot of the cliffs. This is the starting point for English Channel swimmers. Dover, with its world-famous castle, seafront promenade, pier, and marina, is only four miles away. Walkers and cyclists can easily access the Kent Downs AONB, and the nearby towns of Folkestone, Ramsgate, and Margate are just a few examples of the charming coastal towns that can be found nearby. If you're looking for something different, consider visiting Canterbury, England's stunning cathedral city.
